My wife and I started canning this year for the first time. We are officially addicted, but also realize how much work it is to prepare all the food. I had the help of my brother and sister in-law’s pressure canner. Our canning adventure included bread & butter pickles, peppers, salsa, tomato sauce, lemon curd and strawberry jam.

This year’s tomato harvest include 3 different varieties. Heirloom, big beef and Heinz 1439. There’s still quite a few green ones that will be picked in September. We’ve been doing a lot of canning lately so these will come in handy.
